Here is what I put in /etc/initscript, which does the trick according to Nick Name's test in a previous message. ---- # Created by jdc to protect against bad umask settings in the # kernel, e.g. kernel versions 2.4.6 and a few others. # Init uses this to start all processes it wants to start. # See initscript(5). umask 022 eval exec "$4" ---- No need to reboot or restart init, I think.
